Succotash Shut-In

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

As
Santa Claus said after a day of delivering toys around the
world, "Oy." This Epi78 of Succotash was intended to be our
Christmas episode but between the crush of business, holiday
shenanigans, a wicked cold and assorted other speed bumps, it's
only getting out now. And how was YOUR holiday?

Welcome
to Epi76 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. To start
off, and I've mentioned this on the show before, I don’t understand
why some podcasts have “seasons”, like on television, or how they
determine how many episodes constitute said seasons or
why.

A funny
thing happened on the way to Epi76. I had a trip scheduled to Los
Angeles to take part in an annual card game with a bunch of
friends. So I haven't had a chance to finish putting the next
episode of Succotash together.

But there
I was, tooling down Interstate 5 in the middle of the night. Pulled
over to gas...
